    Rams QB Matthew Stafford Lists One of Drake’s Former SoCal Homes for $5.7 Million

    by

    Ever since he sashayed into Los Angeles a few years ago, you could say former Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has been just a wee bit busy. He’s not only captured a Super Bowl victory with the Rams and inked a four-year, $160 million deal that runs through 2026, but he’s also doled out upwards of $69 million on five properties in the affluent guard-gated community of Hidden Hills—among them, a newly built modern farmhouse and an adjacent winery estate, plus two side-by-side homes he acquired from music superstar Aubrey “Drake” Graham.

    The 36-year-old NFL star and his longtime wife Kelly have since sold a glassy mansion elsewhere in the celeb-studded enclave for $21 million to private aviation CEO Bill Papariella. Now the couple is getting ready to lighten their real estate portfolio once again, asking $5.7 million for one of the 1950s ranch-style houses they purchased from Drake in 2022.

    The Staffords plunked down $5 million for the house that’s currently up for grabs and then paid another $6 million for the more modest place right next door. The $11 million they paid for the two properties was a whopping $3.6 million more than the combined $7.4 million Drake originally wanted for the properties. The Canadian rapper and singer initially placed all three homes that made up his sprawling Hidden Hills compound on the market, asking a combined total $22.2 million. The final piece of his puzzle—a 16,000-square-foot Tudor-style house known as the YOLO (You Only Live Once) Estate—eventually went to high-powered attorney Makan Delrahim at a significantly discounted $11.3 million.

    As for the 1.6-acre property that’s now on the market, the traditional four bedroom, five-bath home offers a little more than 3,600 square feet of living space boasting fireplaces, hardwood floors, and high ceilings throughout. Described in previous marketing materials as “exquisitely transformed,” the wood and brick structure also features floor-to-ceiling doors that open to an al fresco entertaining area, plus landscaped grounds hosting a heated pool and a pool house, a barbecue area, a pizza oven, and an 800-square-foot guesthouse.

    According to the listing, there’s also an option to acquire the neighboring 2-acre estate that has a 2,400-square-foot, brick-accented house with three bedrooms, three baths, and rustic interiors including vaulted wood-beam ceilings and an antique brick fireplace and built-in seating in the living room. Rounding it all out: a private horse trail in the backyard.

    Hidden Hills, a guard-gated community deep in the San Fernando Valley, has become the unofficial hangout spot for the Rams. In addition to Stafford, other residents have included Sean McVay, Cooper Kupp, Jalen Ramsey, and Aaron Donald. The Staffords also maintain a Tuscan-inspired vacation home in Orange County’s swank Newport Coast community that they purchased back in 2020. More

      A Horror Filmmaker’s Former L.A. Home Just Hit the Market for $4.2 Million

      by

      If the walls of this historic Los Angeles house could talk, they’d probably begin with relating stories of what it was like to serve as a onetime gathering spot for German and Austrian intellectuals at the invitation of writer Franz Werfel and his socialite wife Alma, the widow of composer Gustav Mahler. They also might chatter a bit about the duo of Hollywood scions who once resided here—Dennis Hopper’s designer daughter Marin, who shared the place with her entrepreneurial husband John Goldstone, as well as Michael Landon’s youngest son Christopher, a horror filmmaker known for flicks like Disturbia and Happy Death Day.

      But wait, that’s not all! These walls also might have some insight into the life and work of Maybeck Award-winning architect Barton Myers, who presided here with his wife Victoria. More recently, though, they probably would speak of current caretaker Travis Nash, who is known for co-founding the luxury cannabis and apparel brand Potent Goods with his Juicy Couture-designer mother Gela Nash-Taylor.

      Whatever the case may be, this edifice is no doubt filled with plenty of tasty tales, and honestly, we can’t wait to see who the property’s next interesting steward will be!

      The family room flaunts a snazzy wet bar flanked by French doors that open to a terrace.

      Adrian Van Anz

      Records show Nash and his wife Veronica acquired the saga-filled structure from Christopher Landon in summer 2018 for $3.1 million. Now, six years later, the couple has decided to flip the two-story Spanish-style dwelling in the Outpost Estates neighborhood of Hollywood Hills back on the market for a smidge under $4.2 million. The listing is held by Jade Mills and Alexis LaMontagna of Coldwell Banker.

      Nestled securely behind high walls and bougainvillea-topped gates, amid a third-acre parcel resting at the end of a cul-de-sac and high above the Hollywood Bowl, the creamy stucco and red terracotta-roof dwelling was completed way back in the late 1920s, per online reports, and today features four bedrooms and a matching number of baths in a little more than 3,200 square feet of “meticulously renovated” living space boasting a mix of dark hardwood and Saltillo tile floors, pitched wood ceilings, fancifully wallpapered walls, and arched doorways throughout.

      The bi-level primary bedroom suite has a screening/sitting room up top.

      Adrian Van Anz

      Among the main-level highlights is a step-down living room sporting a stonework fireplace, plus an adjacent family room with a wet bar and a modernized kitchen that has an eat-in island embedded with a farmhouse sink and a wine cooler, top-tier stainless appliances, and an accompanying dining area offering up views of Griffith Observatory. Standing out on the lower floor is the primary suite, which comes complete with a lofted screening/sitting room and a luxe marble bath equipped with dual vanities, a freestanding tub, and two walk-in closets.

      The amenities continue outdoors, where an inviting brick-clad courtyard out front is enhanced with a tree-shaded entertaining space and a wood-burning fireplace, while the garden-laced backyard is spotlighted by a tiled spa and numerous terraces offering picturesque views across L.A.

      The Founder of the Fear of God Label Has His Designer-Done L.A. Home Listed for $14.9 Million

      by

      Having stitched up a $20 million deal for a snazzy compound in Beverly Hills earlier this year, fashion designer Jerry Lorenzo, founder of the high-brow streetwear label Fear of God, has hoisted his perfectly tailored home in L.A.’s Los Feliz neighborhood on the market for $14.9 million.

      Originally built in the 1930s for the Ralph family, the founders of the Ralph’s grocery store chain, now owned by Kroger, the Spanish-style home sits on Nottingham Avenue, one of the neighborhood’s more coveted streets. It was later owned by soap star Ronn Moss (The Bold and the Beautiful), who sold up in 2015 to political operative Paul Manafort and his son-in-law Jeffrey Yohai. Long story short, Manafort got into a tussle with the government and the house was seized and sold to a couple of Hollywood managers who spent a year renovating before they flipped it in 2018 for $8.495 million to Lorenzo and his wife Desiree Manuel.

      The street-style style icon has subsequently given the place a total makeover spearheaded by Kathleen and Tommy Clements, who remade the interiors into what marketing materials describe as “a world of refined beauty, where warm-toned interiors and carefully curated finishes create an atmosphere of understated luxury.” The listing is held by Tyrone McKillen of Plus Real Estate Group.

      The dining room is embellished with the original carved wood ceiling.

      Between the main house, guesthouse and poolside loggia, there’s about 7,200 square feet dressed in muted tones and soft textiles that reflect Lorenzo’s dedication to quiet luxury. Spare and refined but too plush and moody to be minimalist, the home features travertine-lined archways and variegated chevron-pattern parquet flooring throughout the main and upper floors. The spacious foyer’s focal point is a swooping staircase that echoes the sensual and precise drapes and shapes of Lorenzo’s clothing designs, and the formal sitting room is fashionable, if not especially formal, while the dining room features a baronial fireplace and a carved wood ceiling, both coated in the same milky beige color as the walls.

      Elsewhere, the eat-in kitchen is laid out around a doublewide island with a prep sink with white oak cabinetry, gourmet appliances and grey flannel-colored countertops and backsplashes shot through with lightning bolt-like streaks. A nearby lounge with floor-to-ceiling walls of glass looks out over the backyard

      A window-lined seating area spills out to the backyard.

      Five bedrooms and seven bathrooms are dispersed across the one-third-acre property. One guest bedroom, done up as a study, has French doors to a column-supported loggia, while the primary suite is a private retreat with a fireplace, a sleek, compartmentalized bath, and a two-room closet and dressing area.

      At the back of the house, a vine-draped pergola shades a poolside terrace. There’s a sports court between the main house and a detached two-story guesthouse situated at the back of the property next to the swimming pool. On the opposite side of the yard is a sunken spa and a dining pergola.

      Michael Eisner’s Son Is Asking $14 Million for a Water-View Estate in Los Angeles

      by

      It’s not his father’s extravagant Malibu spread directly overlooking the Pacific, but it still offers up some particularly stunning water vistas! And after a little more than two decades of ownership, filmmaker Breck Eisner—the eldest son of ex-Disney chairman and CEO Michael Eisner—is now ready to part ways with his longtime Los Angeles home perched high above the picturesque Stone Canyon Reservoir, asking $14 million.

      That’s several millions more than Eisner and his wife Georgia Irwin paid for the Bel Air digs back in 1993. But the couple—he a producer and director probably best known for the 2005 movie Sahara starring Matthew McConaughey and Penèlope Cruz, and she a fellow producer and director—did give the main residence an extensive remodel during their tenure in collaboration with noted L.A. designer Michael Palladino, gleaning inspiration from their honeymoon adventures in Bali and Thailand.

      “They envisioned an organic, open sanctuary that had a direct connection to nature,” says Melissa Alt, who shares the Scenario Lane listing with David Mossler, both of Douglas Elliman.

      The main home is described as a “contemporary California take on traditional New England saltbox forms.”

      Cameron Carothers

      Resting amid six parcels spanning 1.2 acres, the water-view estate is showcased by a towering four-bedroom, three-bath main home that’s described in marketing materials as a “contemporary California take on traditional New England saltbox forms.” There’s also a detached two-story glass, steel, and concrete workspace known as “The Cube” that previously served as a studio for Eisner’s production company.

      Originally built in the early 1980s, the stained-pine and zinc-roofed primary dwelling is secluded beyond a lengthy gated driveway and introduced via a boulder-embedded set of stone steps that ascends to a glassy front door. From there, an entry foyer flows to a spacious great room holding a combined living and dining area with pocketing doors spilling out to a trellis-covered deck offering up scenic canyon and reservoir vistas. An adjacent kitchen is outfitted with German-manufactured teak cabinetry, Jura limestone countertops, an expansive island, top-tier Gagganeau, Miele and Sub-Zero appliances, and an accompanying breakfast nook.

      The two-story “Cube” workspace has its own kitchenette, sleeping loft, and terrace.

      Cameron Carothers

      An upstairs playroom is surrounded by a trio of bedrooms, while the self-contained primary suite up above is decked out with a built-in bed, a private balcony, operable skylights, a ceiling-mounted retractable projection screen, two bespoke dressing rooms, and a luxe bath spotlighted by dual limestone vanities and a soaking tub. A lower level has a gym with access to an outdoor shower and a family room that opens to a 60-foot lap pool and a spa tub. Elsewhere is a subterranean den/office with a window that peers into the pool.

      Outdoors, the Pamela Burton-landscaped grounds include a pathway that traverses to the aforementioned multi-purpose workspace, which has its own living area, kitchenette, bath, sleeping loft, and terrace. Also on the property is a gas fire pit encircled by native plants and cultivated gardens, a children’s play area, and a solar panel-clad carport with EV charging stations and room for up to seven vehicles.

      Orlando Bloom Painted This L.A. Mansion Black. Now It Can Be Yours for $5 Million.

      by

      A decade after actor Orlando Bloom sold his home in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles for nearly $4 million, the Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean star’s notorious black-painted abode has once again surfaced for sale. Fully transformed on the inside—but still retaining that dark-hued façade that reportedly annoyed neighbors at the time and has since become rather trendy—the ranch-style abode is now on the market for a speck under $5 million. The listing is held by Claire and Sam O’Connor of Berkshire Hathaway.

      Records show Bloom and his ex-wife Miranda Kerr paid almost $2.8 million for the house in 2007. The couple—who were burglarized at this same spot around two years later by the film-immortalized teen Bling Ring crew—wound up selling the home in 2014 to an unknown buyer before it ultimately went to former Hulu executive and BlueView Real Estate founder Jeff Martin through foreclosure in 2022 for $3.1 million.

      A spacious fireside living room has walls of windows and a door flowing out to an al fresco dining patio.

      Nils Timm

      Tucked away behind gates amid a double parcel spanning three-quarters of an acre in the Outpost Estates enclave that weaves into the foothills above Hollywood, the wood-sided and blue-shingle-roof structure was originally built in the 1940s. Extensively remodeled during Martin’s ownership, the premises feature four bedrooms and an equal number of baths in roughly 3,300 square feet of stylish Francesca Grace-designed living space boasting white oak floors and high wood-beam ceilings throughout, plus doors in every room opening to the outside.

      Among the highlights is a window-lined living room sporting a striking veined-marble fireplace and a door spilling out to a patio that’s ideal for al fresco lounging and entertaining. A wainscoted dining room links via a hallway to the sky-lit kitchen, which is outfitted with custom cabinetry, an eat-in island, top-tier stainless appliances, and a cozy fireside seating alcove.

      The home’s recently updated grounds feature a pool and spa surrounded by a brick terrace.

      Nils Timm

      Elsewhere is an office space with yet another fireplace and a primary suite that comes complete with a wood-fluted accent wall, a built-in window seat, a walk-in closet, and a luxe bath flaunting dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a large rainfall shower. Outdoors, the terraced grounds are showcased by a waterfall-fed pool and spa encased within a brick-clad sundeck and steps leading up to a lofty pergola-shaded seating area overlooking the city lights.

      Also holding court on the property, per Mansion Global, is a bedroom that feels separate from the home and can be used as a recording studio, a fitness room, or an office, along with a lengthy driveway that empties out at a spacious motorcourt flanked by an attached two-car garage.

      One of Robert Duvall’s Former L.A. Homes Can Be Yours for $2 Million

      by

      You might not have been fortunate enough to snag Robert Duvall’s sprawling Virginia horse farm or ritzy New York City duplex that were recently up for grabs, complete with his own signature design touches. But now’s your chance to pick up The Godfather actor’s onetime Los Angeles pied-à-terre known as the Dove House, resting in West Hollywood; that is, of course, if you have a hankering to make the sellers an offer they just can’t refuse!

      Described in marketing materials as a “storybook Spanish home in the heart of Norma Triangle with Mediterranean influences throughout,” the current owner is looking to hand over the keys for a speck under $2 million. Last sold six years ago for $1.7 million by Duvall and his Argentine actress and director wife Luciana Pedraza, the couple picked up the place back in March 2005 for $975,000.

      Originally built in the mid-1920s—but reimagined by the Oscar-winner during his tenure, per the listing held by David Yadegaran, Somaye Bahmanabadi, and Davis Saadian of Carolwood Estates—the creamy stucco and terracotta-roof premises feature two bedrooms and an equal number of baths packed into a modest 1,200 square feet. There’s also a detached one-car garage, plus an uncovered parking space for an additional vehicle.

      A sunken living room is warmed by a Santa Fe-style fireplace and has French doors leading outside.

      Tara for Engel Studios

      An arched wood gate swings open to reveal a private front courtyard hidden from the street by towering hedges and enhanced with a stone walkway that travels to a fountain. Once inside, the charming interiors are bedecked with solid white oak floors, arched doorways, high ceilings, and imported Horus hardware. French doors in almost every room provide seamless indoor/outdoor environs.

      Other highlights include a sunken living room resting beneath a coved ceiling and displaying a Santa Fe-style fireplace, as well as an adjacent formal dining room. An eat-in kitchen is outfitted with Fisher & Paykel appliances, while the primary suite has a convenient half-bath equipped with a single sink and a Toto toilet but shares a full shower-equipped bath with the other bedroom.

      A heated lap pool serves as a centerpiece of the secluded backyard.

      Outdoors, the lush yet compact 0.07-acre grounds are laced with bougainvillea, jasmine, roses, and ivy and host a waterfall-fed lap pool that’s heated for extra enjoyment, along with several spots ideal for al fresco lounging and entertaining.

      A native of San Diego, the 93-year-old actor made his feature film debut as Boo Radley in To Kill a Mockingbird and went on to win a 1983 Academy Award for his portrayal of a broken-down country singer in Tender Mercies. He’s garnered six other Oscar nods during his decades-long career for films such as The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, The Great Santini, and The Judge. The skilled Argentine tango dancer also produced, directed, and acted with Pedraza in the crime thriller Assassination Tango.

      Mandy Moore Is Asking $6 Million for a Chicly Revamped Midcentury in Pasadena

      by

      Back in early 2017, after searching for the perfect family home for almost a year, Mandy Moore and her soon-to-be husband Taylor Goldsmith came across a midcentury-modern abode resting amid a Pasadena hilltop overlooking the Arroyo Seco. The couple—she a singer and actress probably best known for her role as the matriarch in This is Us, and he the frontman for folk-rock band Dawes—went on to dole out nearly $2.6 million for the 1950s residence and then enlisted a team of designers to give the place a full makeover. Now the chicly revamped digs have returned to the market, this time asking $6 million. The listing is held by Teresa Fuller and Jamie Bridgers of Compass.

      “We fell in love with the views, the pool, the yard, basically the whole energy of the place,” Moore told Architectural Digest in a 2018 article. Though the Harold B. Zook-designed structure had mostly good bones, she added, an unfortuate redo in the 1990s had concealed its clean modern lines and classic midcentury flavor. “We wanted to recapture the home’s original spirit without delving into a slavish period restoration,” she said. “We tried to imagine what Zook would have done if he were designing it today.”

      Working with the architect’s original drawings and a team that included contracting firm Bronstruction, architect Emily Farnham, interior designer Sarah Sherman Samuel, and landscapers from Terremoto, Moore oversaw a rebuild of the stepped cornice lining the roof that had been replaced with a “decidedly less elegant alternative.” She also restored and updated the original blonde brick walls, floors, and fireplace surround, along with a copper hood topping a fireplace that divides the living and dining areas.

      The home’s courtyard entrance has been enhanced with a custom bench and concrete water fountain.

      Nestled within the Linda Vista neighborhood, high above the Rose Bowl Stadium and Annandale Golf Club, the white stucco and brick-accented dwelling sports three bedrooms and three baths in a little more than 3,550 square feet of living space infused with light through floor-to-ceiling walls of glass. There are sweeping views of the San Gabriel Mountains and Valley, along with brass-inlaid terrazzo floors, art walls, and designer lighting throughout.

      A “showcase vestibule” serves as an entry into the open-plan layout. Among the highlights is a spacious living and dining area anchored by a massive stone fireplace topped with an eye-catching copper hood, plus a sky-lit kitchen outfitted with open shelving, a marble waterfall-edge island with seating for four, top-tier stainless appliances, a walk-in pantry, and a breakfast nook that opens to a patio and garden. There’s also a family room spotlighted by a custom terrazzo-clad bench incorporated into the fireplace.

      A restored brick and copper fireplace separates the living and dining areas.

      Susan Pickering

      Secluded down a hallway adorned with a library alcove, the attractive primary suite includes a built-in green velvet headboard and floating bedside shelves, as well as a spa-like bath equipped with dual white oak vanities, a deep soaking tub, and a glass-encased shower. Sliding glass doors spill out to the grounds, which span just over 1.4 acres and host a pool with a Baja shelf and spa, a fire pit, and a pergola-shaded dining and kitchen area.

      “It’s the end of an era,” Moore recently declared on her Instagram page. “Today, our home that we lovingly restored from the studs, is available for its next chapter and owner. It’s bittersweet as [Taylor] and I got engaged, married and brought home 2 babies here but I’m thrilled to see who she goes to next. It’s SUCH a special space.”

      Best-known for her role as Rebecca Pearson on NBC’s award-winning This is Us, the Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominated actress has also appeared in films such as A Walk to Remember, Because I Said So, and 47 Meters Down. A singer and songwriter as well, Moore has released several musical tracks—Candy and I Wanna Be With You, among them. Coming up, look for her to appear on the next season of HGTV’s home-transformation series Celebrity IOU, starring Property Brothers Drew and Jonathan Scott and making its debut in August.

      One of Jeremy Renner’s Formerly Flipped Homes Is Back on the Market in L.A. for $6.5 Million

      by

      Back in 2008, a few years after Jeremy Renner and his business partner Kristoffer Winters bought and sold their first house in Los Angeles for around $240,000 over what they paid for the place just a few months before, the actor-turned-real estate developer doled out roughly $1.5 million for a Greek Revival-style estate in Hollywood Hills. Now—after first selling the revamped property for a $2.4 million profit in 2009—it’s popped up on the market once again, still dressed to the nines and asking a speck under $6.5 million. The listing is held by Daniel Giventer and Dovi Levin of Christie’s International Real Estate.

      Originally built in the early 1920s and previously occupied by Disney writer, director and producer Perce Pearce, who is largely known for his work on Bambi, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and Fantasia—and dubbed the Hemingway House because it was reportedly used as an “after-party pad” by writer Ernest Hemingway—the premises underwent an extensive remodel and glow-up during Renner’s ownership.

      The home’s cozy library is adorned with a seated bar.

      Securely hidden away behind gates and high hedges, amid a corner parcel spanning roughly one-third acres in the affluent Selma Avenue Residential Historic District, the tan stucco and green terracotta-roof structure is fronted by a fountain-clad reflecting pool and features 5,800 square feet of elegant living space boasting rich hardwood floors, copious built-ins, and period fireplaces throughout.

      Especially standing out are the screening room and a library sitting adjacent to a bar area. Other highlights include a soaring black-and-white-tiled entry foyer that flows to a fireside living area that has French doors leading outside and a formal dining room topped by a crystal chandelier, along with a sleekly designed kitchen outfitted with dual islands, top-tier appliances, and a breakfast nook with banquette seating. The primary suite sports a fireplace, a covered balcony, a walk-in closet, and a luxe bath spotlighted by dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower.

      The entertainment-ready backyard holds a pool and spa nestled alongside a fire-pit.

      Heading outdoors, you’ll find park-like grounds dotted with numerous terraces ideal for al fresco lounging and entertaining, as well as a fire pit and a black-bottom pool and spa. Tucked off to the side of the house is a detached two-car garage flanked by a spacious cobblestone motorcourt with room for up to nine additional vehicles.

      Renner, 53, has acquired and developed numerous multimillion-dollar properties in Southern California since the early 2000s, including a $25 million mansion in L.A.’s posh Holmby Hills neighborhood. The two-time Oscar-nominated actor has appeared in countless films, including S.W.A.T., The Hurt Locker, The Town, and The Bourne Legacy. Also known for playing Clint Barton/Hawkeye in Marvel movies and a TV show and hosting Rennervations, a Disney+ series in which he gives back to communities worldwide by “reimagining unique, purpose-built vehicles,” he’s currently starring in season three of Paramount+’s Mayor of Kingstown.

      Nick and Vanessa Lachey Swap Hawaii Home for an All-New SoCal Showpiece

      by

      Nick and Vanessa Lachey are officially relocating from Hawaii to California, trading in a snazzy Honolulu mansion for an equally ritzy place in Los Angeles. After only two years of ownership, the reality TV show hosts have listed their resort-style residence near Oahu’s Kahala Beach for $9.8 million and doled out $6.8 million for all-new modern farmhouse-style digs tucked away in a prime pocket of Encino.

      The married actors bought their Hawaiian home for $8.8 million soon after Vanessa was cast in the CBS show NCIS: Hawaiʻi  in 2021. “We thought we were going to do a Hawaii to L.A. ‘travel-on-the-weekend’ thing,’ ” Vanessa told Travel + Leisure in a 2022 article. “We sold our house and now we’ve got Hawaii license plates.” Their decision to sell up after such a short time no doubt has to do with the police procedural getting canceled in April after three seasons.

      As for their newly acquired stateside home, it was built in 2023 on a secluded cul-de-sac parcel spanning nearly half an acre. Fronted by a double-gated circular driveway and an attached three-car garage, plus a sports court sitting discreetly off to the side, the two-tone structure includes six bedrooms and nine baths in 8,300 square feet of three-level living space boasting white oak floors, high ceilings, and designer lighting throughout.

      A towering wood door pivots open into the foyer, which flows to a fireside living room, an en-suite guest bedroom, and another bedroom that’s been converted into an office. Beyond a wood-railed floating staircase, an expansive great room holds a formal dining area and a family room spotlighted by a linear marble fireplace and pocketing glass doors spilling out to a covered terrace flanked by a barbecue station. An adjacent gourmet kitchen is outfitted with stone countertops, a large eat-in island, top-notch Thermador appliances, and a butler’s pantry just around the corner.

      Elsewhere, the lower level comes complete with a vaulted safe room, a movie theater, a gym, a recreation room, and a seated bar with a glass-encased wine wall, while the upstairs primary suite flaunts a fireplace, dual designer showroom closets, and a luxe marble bath equipped with two vanities, a makeup counter, a soaking tub, and a steam shower. The amenities continue outdoors, where the turf-clad backyard hosts a pool with a Baja shelf and a spa and a fire pit conversation area nestled alongside a cabana.

      Nick, 50, and Vanessa, 43, met back in the early 2000s when he was a member of the boy band 98 Degrees and she was a veejay for MTV’s Total Request Live. They went on to wed in the summer of 2011 and have since welcomed three children. The pair currently co-hosts Netflix’s reality dating shows Love Is Blind and The Ultimatum, with Nick also handling solo hosting duties for Perfect Match. Before moving to Hawaii, the couple sold an L.A.-area home to tennis pro Naomi Osaka for $6.3 million.

      The Encino listing was held by Danielle Peretz and Oran Peretz of The Beverly Hills Estates; Craig Knizek of The Agency repped the buyers.
